This Summer
This Summer are entirely their own. The five-piece emo/alternative band from Ohio aims to remain diverse, keeping Midwestern emo influences in their sound while simultaneously having fun and being gutsy when they can. In need of a reset, This Summer swapped their nostalgic hard rock sound in early 2020 for an angstier, feisty, modern clash of driving melodies and emotionally gripping vocals. The band has not been shy about bringing deep and emotionally enriching lyrics to the modern rock scene. Looking to destigmatize the issues of depression, abuse, regret and longing, This Summer brings these human emotions to the forefront of their lyricism in hopes of connecting with listeners on an engaging level. Unable to access a studio, the band’s current lineup initially spent the start of the COVID-19 pandemic recording, completing an EP in just 2 months. Their initial EP placed emphasis on retaining the cozy feeling of nostalgia and implementing soft colors into their branding. A fresh take on Midwestern rock, This Summer is always expanding.

Portage
Portage is an Emo / Math Rock band from northeast Ohio. Formed in 2013, Portage is a 3-piece math-rock band from Akron, Ohio. Drawing inspiration from early 2000's emo and post hardcore, the self described "sad math" band blends complex instrumental parts with 3 part vocal harmonies to create an upbeat sound that is fun and surprisingly easy to listen to.
